Haruno looked at Hikigaya with a 'natural' look.

"I can't believe you'll be so quiet."

Hikigaya said directly that in this uninhabited island exam, Haruno's presence was almost zero. Based on his understanding of her, this was a good opportunity to "make trouble", but Haruno was unexpectedly obedient?

It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. Haruno's disguise may deceive others, but it cannot deceive Hikigaya.

"Hikigaya, am I a bad woman in your eyes?"

Yang Nai said pitifully: "You make me very sad."

Hikigaya only had two words for this.

"hehe."

Who is Yukinoshita Haruno? This is the big devil!

Even though it is just a youth version of the big devil now, many things have already been revealed.

"Cut~"

Seeing that Hikigaya wasn't fooled, Haruno immediately returned to her normal self, a playful smile on her face. "Katsuragi is indeed disappointing this time, but Hikigaya, you've certainly surprised me. I'm sure Kosakayanagi will be very happy to know this result. After all, you helped her solve this problem. I think she'll definitely want to come and thank you in person."

As expected, Hikigaya was familiar with Haruno's sarcastic tone.

"I was hoping to see more of the fun, but now Katsuragi's prestige has plummeted because of this exam, and it looks like it'll take him a while to recover. This means I'll have less fun to watch."

Yangno sighed.

Hikigaya couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He vaguely realized that Haruno seemed to be preparing to take action?

Indeed, if Yang Nai intends to take action, now is the time when the class is most vulnerable, so it is like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Is Yang Nai waiting for this opportunity?

"Hikigaya, what do you think of the so-called class competition that this school promotes?"

Yang Nai lay comfortably on the luxurious massage chair, with her hands folded on her abdomen and her eyes closed, and suddenly asked.

"I do not know."

Hikigaya shook his head. At first, he really disliked the school's policy of encouraging competition, but gradually he found that there were some merits in it. However, this did not mean that Hikigaya approved of this approach.

So now he has more of a "wait and see" attitude, just like many people who are cynical at first, but as they gain experience and their horizons broaden, they will slowly change. This is probably what so-called growth is.

It will never remain the same. You need to feel it and practice it yourself to see more.

In Hikigaya's view today, the reason why schools use class competition is not only to cultivate students' personal abilities, but also to train their leadership as a group. Personal abilities and leadership abilities are not in conflict, but rather complement each other.

Hikigaya only saw this possibility in one person so far.

"I think the current class competition is a bit boring~"

Yang Nai slowly opened her eyes and looked at the crystal chandelier above: "I want to make it more interesting."

"interesting?"

Hikigaya looked at Haruno in confusion, and Haruno's lips curled up slightly. "Take this special exam, for example. Although it looks like a competition between classes, there's actually not much interaction. Most of the time, everyone is just guarding their own little corner. And don't you see a problem?"

A glint flashed in Yang Nai's eyes: "So that's why the school deliberately set up the final stage of guessing the leader?"

"Is it to increase competition between classes? To test students' abilities? Or is there some other reason?"

When Yang Nai said this, a hint of excitement could be seen on her face.

Hikigaya was slightly stunned. Haruno's words reminded him that the additional rules added by the school in this special exam were intended to increase competition between classes and encourage students to guess the leaders. After all, if the leader was guessed correctly, not only would the other class's efforts over the past seven days be in vain, but the gap could also be directly widened by 7 points!

But if you think about it carefully, you will find a problem that is easily overlooked, which is also what Hikigaya once felt confused about. What would happen if there was no additional rule?

The biggest possibility is that everyone plays on their own. According to the most ideal situation, everyone's points are likely to be above 300 points in the end. This is undoubtedly a good thing for students. 300 class points means an additional income of 3 personal points per month.

But if it were the school, it would mean that first-year students would have to spend an additional total of 480 million personal points per month!

This is real money!

Just one special exam generated 480 million personal points! And that's not even counting all the other expenses!

So if I were the school, I definitely wouldn’t want to see this result.

Therefore, the final additional rule, ostensibly to increase the antagonism and competitiveness of the class, actually also has the intention of recovering personal points!

It is obvious that Yang No also realized the school's intention from the rules, and this is not necessarily an exception. Every exam will be accompanied by an increase or decrease in class points. This is inevitable, but it also means that every exam will generate a large number of personal points!

in case……

Thinking of this, Hikigaya's expression became serious.

"Yang Nai, your idea is very dangerous. This is undoubtedly pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth!"

"As expected of the man I'm looking for, he's quite perceptive!"

Yang Nai said jokingly: "But you have to last a little longer~"

"Cough cough cough!!!"

This hateful woman!

"Pay attention to etiquette!"

Hikigaya said viciously, he didn't expect Haruno to tell such a dirty joke. If it was Sakayanagi or any other girl, this would never happen. But her name is Yukinoshita Haruno, a woman full of vulgar tastes!

But Yang Noi didn't care about these things at all. Instead, she laughed without any mannerism.

"I'm tired, I'm leaving now!"

Hikigaya quickly stood up and left, fearing that something unpredictable might happen if he stayed a second longer.

Looking at Hikigaya's fleeing back, Haruno smiled happily at first, but when she was left alone, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, leaving only an indescribable indifference.

Chapter 196 Birthday.

The day after the uninhabited island exam, all the facilities on the cruise ship were provided free of charge to the students, so the former Class B, now Class A, rented a banquet hall to celebrate.

Because of Ichinose's personality, and the fact that Class D did provide a lot of help this time, the hostility caused by the surveillance incident was reduced a lot, so Ichinose invited the students of Class D to the banquet hall to celebrate together.

After Hirata relayed this news to everyone, everyone in Class D expressed their agreement. After all, in this special exam, apart from Class Ichinose, Class D was the second-best beneficiary.

Although the other students in Ichinose's class no longer had much hostility towards them, they still didn't have a good attitude towards the three culprits, Ayanokouji, Ike, and Yamauchi.

"Kanzaki-san, I heard that a classmate in your class also withdrew from the exam due to illness?"

Hirata was talking to Kanzaki when he accidentally brought up this topic.

"After all, the sudden heavy rain caught many people off guard."

Kanzaki said ambiguously.

Hirata deeply agrees with this.

Suddenly, Ichinose came to the two of them, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong, Ichinose?"

Kanzaki couldn't bear it any longer and asked.

Ichinose glanced at Kanzaki, then at Hirata, and hesitantly said, "Then, why doesn't Hikigaya-kun from your class seem to be here?"

Kanzaki subconsciously looked around the banquet hall and found that Hikigaya was nowhere to be seen. In fact, there were only about 20 students from Class D participating in the celebration, exactly half of the number of people, and most of them were boys.

"Hikigaya-san? I'm not too sure, but from what I know about him, he doesn't really like places with a lot of people."

Hirata explained.

"That's it~"

There was an obvious look of loss on Ichinose's face, and Hirata, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression.

"Ichinose."

Kanzaki quickly reminded him and explained to Hirata, "Hikigaya also helped us a lot in this exam, so Ichinose wanted to take this opportunity to thank him."

"I see. I'll definitely pass that on for you."

Hirata sighed, "Everyone thinks Hikigaya-san's words are harsh and unkind, but he's actually the gentlest one."

"Huh? So Hirata-kun thinks the same thing?"

Ichinose's face showed a look of surprise, and he continued, "I'm ashamed to say this, but during the last surveillance incident, Hikigaya scolded me harshly. I guess only Hikigaya-kun would scold me like that, but please don't misunderstand, I don't mean to complain at all. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to Hikigaya-kun. It's a pity that I still failed to live up to expectations this time..."

At this point, Ichinose lowered his head in embarrassment, probably because of the Class C spy.

"correct!"

Suddenly, Ichinose looked at Hirata as if remembering something. "Hirata-kun, could you please take a message to Hikigaya-kun?"

……

Inside the cruise ship's cinema, a boy with dead eyes was dozing off. It was not until the show was over and the lights were turned on that Hikigaya rubbed his eyes and stood up yawning.

Well, actually, he didn't come to the cinema to watch a movie at all, he just regarded it as a "big bedroom". The most important thing is that not many students would come to the cinema to watch this boring art film.

They came to the coffee shop near the deck, ordered a cup of extra strong and sweet coffee, and then looked out over the railing at the endless blue sea and clear sky in the distance. The boy with dead fish eyes began to daydream, and time seemed to be slowly frozen at this moment.

Suddenly, the cell phone in my pocket vibrated, breaking this quiet moment that belonged to me.

The boy with dead eyes impatiently took out his cell phone, but when he saw the note "Violent Female Teacher" on it, he immediately disappeared from his sleepiness.

"Teacher Jing..."

Hikigaya just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, a clear and somewhat strange voice came from the other side: "Happy birthday, brother!"

This voice has accompanied the boy for almost his entire life, and it couldn't be more familiar.

"Eh? Why is there no sound? Could it be that brother is hiding away wiping away tears because he was so touched by Komachi celebrating your birthday?"

"How, how is this possible! I, I was just wondering who this person is, why is he so conceited!"

"Ah~ Brother, are you still a child? You're so touched, yet you're so stubborn! But as for Komachi's score just now, it must have gotten a very high score, hehe!"

"Hmph, zero points!"

"Ah! Bro, you're so abominable, but since it's your birthday today, I'll forgive you, Komachi!"

Suddenly, the phone went quiet.

"Hey, brother, why aren't you talking? Brother, you're not really hiding in the corner wiping your tears, are you? This is too embarrassing~~ I don't want a brother like that!"

"Thank you, Komachi."

If it weren’t for you, I would have almost forgotten that today is my birthday. The boy with dead eyes was touched.

"Hiss~ Bro, you're so corny~"

"I, I want to take back what I just said!"

"Oh, but this year Mom and Dad prepared a big red envelope for you."

"Hey, what kind of anomalous zone is this!"

Hikigaya was shocked.

"Brother, are you obsessed with the second dimension again?!"

A complaining voice came from the other end of the phone: "But since my brother is away at school, this big red envelope will be kept by your most lovely sister for the time being!"

"..."

"Huh? Brother, why are you silent? I know, you must be too moved to speak..."

"Hikigaya Komachi!"

In an instant, all the emotion just now turned into anger. Oh my god, no wonder he was so "diligent" today, it turned out that he was eyeing his red envelope!

"La la la ~ The signal seems to be not very good, I can't hear you~~"

There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone, and then another mature voice rang out: "Ahem, happy birthday~"

When Hikigaya heard this also very familiar voice, he suddenly felt a little sore in the corner of his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Thank you, Teacher Jing."

"Oh, I'm not used to you talking to me like this."

"Then I would like to wish you, Teacher, in advance..."

"Stop! Stop! I knew you were worried!"
